Qing Lin took out his mobile phone, his face full of anticipation.
Just then, two figures suddenly walked up from the stairwell on the negative first floor.
Qing Lin was stunned on the spot, looking at the two with disbelief.
After completely emerging from the mist, Li Zhonglou said to Yue Hai, who was unharmed, with some surprise: "You kid are capable, you can hold your breath for so long."
Despite being praised, Yue Hai's face was still extremely ugly. He finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long while.
"If I find out who made this stuff, I'll beat him into a pig's head!"
As he spoke, Yue Hai looked as if he was grinding his teeth in hatred. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a slightly sexy voice sounded from beside him.
"You said you're going to beat someone into a pig's head?"
Yue Hai subconsciously looked over and saw Qing Lin, whose face was full of gloom.
"Brother Li, who is she?"
Yue Hai looked at Li Zhonglou in confusion.
"She is the one you just wanted to beat into a pig's head."
Li Zhonglou suppressed his laughter and quietly stepped aside. He had to admit that he was eager to see them fight. Although he had an estimate of Yue Hai's approximate strength, he still didn't fully understand Yue Hai's limit.
Therefore, if the two of them really fought, Qing Lin should be able to help him test it. One of them was a martial arts prodigy, and the other was a martial arts genius. Setting aside their ages, it was truly uncertain who would win or lose.
To his astonishment, when Yue Hai realized what was happening, he immediately bowed deeply to Qing Lin without a word.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you just now."
This reaction stunned not only Li Zhonglou but also Qing Lin, leaving him at a loss for how to vent his displeasure.
"You, well, it's okay."
Qing Lin also took a while to spit out these few words. The main reason was that she remembered what Li Zhonglou had said earlier, that he was a poor child who had just come out of the mountains, and she couldn't bear to make things difficult for him.
"Thank you."
Yue Hai bowed deeply again. Li Zhonglou really couldn't stand it anymore and walked down, grabbing his collar.
"What's wrong with you, kid? You're so polite when you see a beautiful woman? What did you do at the clothing store before?"
Li Zhonglou felt a surge of anger. After the incident at the clothing store, he had been worried about how to persuade Yue Hai to be more low-key given his personality.
Who would have thought that the training would be skipped entirely now!
The key point was that this guy was doing all this for women!
"What are you doing? Let go!"
Qing Lin suddenly walked over, slapped Li Zhonglou's hand away, and shielded Yue Hai like a tigress.
This time, both of them were completely stunned.
"What's wrong with you?"
Li Zhonglou looked at the two of them strangely. The development of this plot was a bit beyond his imagination.
But Qing Lin still didn't realize that something was wrong: "I should be the one asking you. Isn't he your friend? Why are you bullying him like this?"
Li Zhonglou immediately rolled his eyes. Forget it, he couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly in a moment.
"Stop fooling around and take us to see Yang Dongtian. You wanted to see someone cause trouble for him, right? Now you have."
Qing Lin's face lit up immediately, seemingly very concerned about seeing Yang Dongtian in trouble. She immediately put aside the matter of Yue Hai and nodded repeatedly: "No problem, I can take you there now!"
With that, she led the way outside, while Yue Hai remained immersed in confusion.
Until Li Zhonglou patted his shoulder heavily.
"Brother Li, why did she help me?"
"Uh, don't overthink it, kid. You might not be able to beat her yet. She probably misunderstood something."
Although Li Zhonglou didn't know Qing Lin's true thoughts, he could guess most of it.
Unfortunately, his explanation did not make the strange expression on Yue Hai's face disappear. Li Zhonglou could only shake his head helplessly.
"Let's go. We have important matters to attend to."
"Yes, important matters."
Yue Hai casually agreed and even followed behind faster than him.
This guy...
Li Zhonglou was somewhat amused and speechless. However, as the three of them had just left the teaching building, a loud voice suddenly came from the sky.
"So you're here!"
A white figure suddenly descended from the sky, startling all three of them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yue Hai immediately flashed to Qing Lin's side and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Qing Lin's expression immediately froze.
"My dear grandson, is this the expert who taught you Tai Chi?"
The old man looked at Yue Hai with some hesitation, and his words made Yue Hai's body stiffen.
"Dear, dear grandson?"
Qing Lin said with a strange expression: "This is my grandfather, my real grandfather."
Yue Hai's face suddenly changed. Without another word, he bowed deeply to the old man.
"Hello, Grandpa!"
Although the old man felt a bit bewildered, he also revealed a bright smile and said, "Young man, you don't need to be so polite."
Afterward, the old man confirmed with Qing Lin: "Is it him?"
Qing Lin said somewhat speechlessly: "Grandpa, when did I ever tell you that someone taught me Tai Chi?"
"Hehe, I know you well. If no one taught you, how could you know those moves?"
As he spoke, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Moreover, the moves you mentioned have opened up a new world for Grandpa! I've already used them to create a new set of Tai Chi, and I'm looking for you to spar with your friend!"
Upon hearing the word "spar," Qing Lin subconsciously turned to look at Li Zhonglou. This scene happened to fall into the old man's eyes, and he immediately understood who the true master who taught her Tai Chi was.
"So it's you, young man. May I know which family you learned from?"
As the old man spoke, he performed the traditional martial arts cupped-hand salute and bowed to Li Zhonglou.
Li Zhonglou had no choice but to return the salute: "Mai Men."
Mai Qian was the true traditional cultivation method he had learned, and he was also the third-generation successor. When asked about his lineage, he naturally had to mention it first.
There was also another reason for this. Li Zhonglou temporarily did not want his master's name to appear in Shangjing. It wasn't just his master; his other relatives and friends were the same.
The matters in Shangjing were to be kept in Shangjing, and he didn't want to involve them.
At this moment, the old man looked full of doubt: "Mai Men? I've never heard of this sect? Young man, have any famous figures come out of your lineage? Just name one for me to hear?"
Li Zhonglou honestly replied: "I'm sorry, sir, my lineage only has me as the third generation, with only one person per generation."
The old man's brows immediately furrowed: "You mean you are the sect leader?"
